The combined reach of YouTube influencers participating in the Toronto YouTube FanFest is 59.9 million subscribers, with combined views of 6.8 billion.

Previous FanFests were held in India, Singapore, Thailand, Korea, Australia and Japan, and Google Canada spokesperson Jennifer Kaiser said the reason Toronto was chosen as because of its rabid fan base.

“YouTube Canada is a huge market that includes a large number of talented Canadians, and there’s a rich creator eco-system here as well,” Kaiser told StreamDaily. “Plus, the timing was right in terms of the maturity of the market.”

Kaiser said that more than 7,500 fans arrived for shows in India, and 4,000 for Mumbai.

“We’re expecting a huge turnout in Canada,” she said.

The red carpet begins at 5 p.m., with the full show to follow at 8 p.m.
